This Road Wasn’t on the Map: What I Found in Columbia is the latest journey on my Travel and Escape channel — and this one gave me chills. The video starts with me navigating the streets of Columbia, Illinois, surrounded by other drivers on a bright but overcast day. It all felt typical until I made a right turn onto a road that had no street signs and was only wide enough for a single vehicle. With no homes nearby and the sky growing darker with thick, puffy clouds, the atmosphere shifted quickly.

As I kept driving, a single house finally appeared in the distance, but something about the road felt off — too quiet, too isolated. That uneasy feeling in my gut told me to turn around. I trusted it. I got back on the main road and continued until I made another turn and ended the video there.

If you’ve ever found yourself somewhere that felt a little too forgotten, you’ll connect with this drive. Come ride along and see what I found when I veered off the familiar path.
